Need to get a PC laptop for work and want to also use it for grading and editing.

Can anyone make a few recommendations?

Use PPro CS6 and Davinci Resolve.

Are there any other PC ONLY apps useful in POST work and grading?

Thanks in advance!
 
i picked up an Asus N56VZ about 3 months ago. I did alot of research before hand and this one came out ahead in price vs performance. It was most balanced across all its features too. I really like the speakers on it as well. It barely gets warm sitting on my lap. The one downside it had was the 5400 rpm 750gb drive. I pulled that out almost immediately and installed a 120gb SSD in its place. - i kept the 750 in a tiny external usb3.0 case and use it as media storage. With the ssd the laptop is blazing fast. From total shutoff to login screen is 15 seconds and the sleep mode takes 2 seconds. The SSD is a must upgrade.

1920x1080 on a 15in screen as well.

Look at a Dell M4600. It's the best bang for the buck and uses a Nvidia card supported by CS6. I'll be placing my order soon
